Personally, if I was forced to use a 486 as a server, I'd put Linux on
it rather than any version of Windows and run a Linux build of CVSNT.

Subject: [cvsnt] Setting up CVS on an old server, what are the

Hi there !

I am a new CVSNT user - I've very briefly used WinCVS client in the
past, but have been tasked to set up a CVSNT server for a team of approx
8 Java developers on my project.

 

I was just curious how hardware-dependent CVS is?

 

I may be given an old 486 server to work with (the project has a small
budget ;) as a starting point.

I guess I'd be looking at an older version of Windows in this case, I'm
assuming NT 4.0, but not too sure if anything newer will work on an
older machine.

 

In any case - do you know if CVS, with a fairly small team and fairly
small amount of code, will work well on a 486 ?

(I don't have the specs yet unfortunately :-(

 

Thanks !

-PaN
